MK3 GTI Disc size

as above, but if you are still worried take the wheel off and have a look at your calipers. 288 is the one on the left, 280- is the one on the right:

Thanks for the pictures guys, Suspension kit is being fitted tomorrow so wheels will be off then, i looked under the back seat and there's no ABS boxes there so i guess there 288mm.
A Trip down to GSF when in bits to get the Brembo discs and EBC greens,

Will post some piccys tomorrow if all goes well

Hi Chaps

Brakes need doing on my 1996 8V GTI 1st registered 02/02/96, does it have 280mm discs or 288mm ? 

Thanks in advance

Jerry

Well after all the that there 280mm so i can conclude an 2L 8v GTI registered  02/02/96 were 280mm, well on my car anyhow, and i had no Abs ecu under the rear seat either.



Thanks for your help guys

its prob down to liek when the MK2 CE2 came out in roughly 1990, there were some early cars that wernt bought quickly and so were registered late, and some later cars that were snapped up real quick and snapped up early!

so its possible this one was made in late 95/early and was sat for a while before being purchased.  this is why models right on the changeover year need to be checked over carefully

Hmmm, i have a nice set of BBS wheels that would fit on your car rather nicely
